Have just done a Gap meal and price of the meal has gone up since booking the assignment so reimbursement doesn't cover. Put a note about this at the end of the questionairre, but just wondered if anyone had a similar experience booking a job end 2008 for early 2009 when prices change.

Cheers.

Are Sannies the same as sarnies?

We use 'Sannies' as an abbreviation for sanitary towels, so the images that brought up were quite amusing :-)

I have a picture of you sitting on a packet of crisps. I am doing some today. Presume you pretend shock horrow when you opened them Gosh they were all crushed.

I am doing some today. ( Freezing fog permitting) and if you get the eggs at £1.19 (cheapest) and the Sannies are £2 (cheapest) you can't stay within the £3.

I got a prawn sandwich at £1.70 and eggs at £1.71.so well within the budget and prawns are apt to go off quickly so a complaint is accepted easily.

The VAT has gone back up....I think this makes a difference. I noticed it at the Pizza place the other day.

You're BOTH b****y mad venturing out in this!!

The feezing fog is all we need on top of all this ice & snow!

The only jobs I've managed this week are a couple of local ones within a few minutes walking distance - all others have had to be rescheduled for next week in the hope it's a bit better by then and public transport is back to normal.

All the Companies have been great though as everyone is in the same situation.

Good luck to anyone who is braving it today anyway - I'm staying by the fire!

Of course, I should be doing my tax return, but can't face it! :eek:

Thanks for that Bryssn. You have persuaded me. I just phoned Mr Allocator at the eggs job and postponed till next Mon & Tues.

I agree the companies have all been so understanding. I also had a job with TNS ( blue supermarket) in Helensburgh today. Put that off. Had 2 Gyp jobs today...postponed also. Put off a GR bank from yesterday till next week plus a Tern one as it was in darkest Lanarkshire and the trains to there are off. Got an Abai cat for tomorrow but it is in Glasgow so should manage it.

Gosh next week I am gonna be busy.

Notice Bryssn none of the companies are even loading jobs as there is no point. Except RE. Now why doesn't that surprise me.

Did you see my 1st tracking post ( on planet X forum) about me filling in the emloyee voucher for myself. Did I feel a chump.

Our street is so quiet today it is like a Sunday. Not heard a car door shut, car pass anything since 7.30 when DH went to work.

:rotfl: Esp if it was raspberry jam sannies. Some parts of Glasgow called the unmentionable time of the month "My dabs". As in " I was pyoor no well as I had my dabs"

The RE site is slower than it has ever been, I have been waiting for a acceptance of an assignment for 10 minutes now and it is stuck at 5 bars. GRRRR!!!

Grrr I can see the jobs on RE, but I can't accept them! Some sort of Javascript error :mad:
